Product: EA SPORTS FC 25
Platform:PlayStation 5
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 5
What is your Gamertag/PSN ID/Switch ID?
Which mode has this happened in? Tournament Mode
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create a offline tournament, for example the 2. Bundesliga. When playing an Away team, the D-Pad does nothing. No tactics can be selected or changed. When playing the Home team, everything works perfectly fine. It does not happen in Kick Off when playing an Away team, so it seems to be the tournaments. (I also heard people say it's not working in the Champions League mode either, but I have not tried that myself)
What happens when the bug occurs? I can't change tactics. The D-Pad is without function.
What should be happening instead? I should be able to change tactics when I play as an Away team in Offline Tournaments
The tactics are one of the most advertised feature of the game this year, so please fix them asap. I mostly play offline modes and this makes it impossible to play a offline tournament.

- 10 months ago@HeyMickey92 Same problem here! This is totally unacceptable and I can’t believe it wasn’t discovered during QA! Fix this NOW, EA. I’m on PS5, playing offline tournaments with a friend

Come on EA, this is a ridiculous bug and probably very easy to fix for you. Do it!!
- 10 months ago@wjhunt78 You'd think so, but this bug is not new unfortunately and well documented on this website.

If you go into the search you can even find people with this problem from 2021 and earlier.- 10 months ago
Yes, I am aware of that. But I don't think it is acceptable that old bugs that had already been solved in the previous version of the game return in this new game. Has to be fixed immediately imo
